Chile s millionaire fortunes increased despite the pandemic
Santiago de Chile, Dec 31 (Prensa Latina) Although the economic and social crisis exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic led to poverty for millions of Chileans, some of the wealthy in Chile increased their fortunes dramatically at this time.
Among them are even President Sebastián Piñera and his wife Cecilia Moreal, whose wealth increased by 11 percent between March, when the pandemic entered the country, and the month that ends, going from 2.6 billion dollars to 2.9 billion.
The data published by Forbes magazine in its annual ranking on the richest people on the planet is collected by the newspaper El Financiero, which indicates that at least five Chilean billionaires saw their fortunes increased despite the crisis.
